Lady Gaga has made an art form of skimpy outfits, but at the moment it’s all for show. The pop star says she is currently single and celibate, people.com reports.

“I haven’t got time to spend on the road to get to know anyone,” she told reporters this week at MAC cosmetics’ Viva Glam event in London, reports the U.K.’s Mirror. “Even Lady Gaga can be celibate. You don’t have to have sex to be loved.”

The singer, 23, who arrived at the event in a sexy see-through black lace dress, may be abstaining — but that doesn’t preclude her from offering opinions about what goes on in the bedroom.

“Sex should be fun, beautiful and colorful, but women get the short end of the stick,” she says. “We’re just receivers. We can’t talk about sex, we can’t sing about sex.”
